Drawing, Pastel on Paper
Size: 20 W x 36 H x 1 D in
"Guava Goddess" was inspired by model Kate Moss. I tried to show her exotic, disciplined approach, and also I enjoyed creating the hibiscus flowers, depicted from my floral garden I create while living in The Deep South. The use of Swarovski Crystals brings more light into the rather dark expression on the model's face. This piece would look very nice in a modern flat or home. I suggest framing with a simple plexiglass shadow box, as the light becomes more playful with the crystals imbedded in the pastel. A surprising added movement. I have made mini videos of all of my pastels, which show the sparkle of the Swarovski Crystals better. If you are interested in purchasing this or any of my artworks, please email me or call my studio number found on my website. "Guava Goddess" is an original pastel drawing created by Cherie Bender.

Born & currently residing in America, I now live in a luscious, tropical environment, which is a direct opposite of where I grew up: snowy & wintry, although quite Magical, Edinburgh, Scotland. I miss the purple heather! I hope to visit the UK & London again but My last visit to London, England, was very sad,just before the Sunami hit. I spent a sad reflective 5 minutes in silence at Heathrow, along with everyone in the airport, in honor of that tragedy. So I do hope to return to England at a better time. I am absolutely committed to creating art in exciting different ways using traditional techniques. My major interest is drawing and painting with a little photography thrown in. I may say that lightly but actually I majored in photography on Scholarship to Barry College, but I was attracted to having more control and I worked hard to develop my technique in drawing & painting until it pleased me. My medium is oil on canvas or wood, I create hand painted photographs and lately work in oils & pastels with Swarovski Crystals, which I then video. I like to draw because it is simple and shows the skeleton of the work I do. I'm working now on a new body of work comprising of using Swarovski Crystals in my paintings & drawings to bring in the light to dark places. I show here on Saatchiart.com my oil painting "Meltdown" with Swarovski Crystals. I am having a good time recently,creating a Magical Cookbook, as I do have a secret love affair with magic, fairies, elves and fantasy.
